Completed Projects: No. 7

Last time I shopped the garage, I painted the bottom of this pair (see Completed Projects No. 6). This time I painted the top. This was an old tin cake cover that I bought for $1.29 a while back at a thrift store.

Lately I've been really loving decorating with glass covers and bought this glass set real cheap at the Home Goods store a month ago. I plan to use it on my china cabinet (when I get it painted) as soon as I get my home put together. It's been months since we moved to our new house and I've yet to finish unpacking boxes from the garage. Slow progress as we've been traveling a bit. We even went over to Albuquerque for a week to see the two youngest grand kids when middle daughter and family went to visit youngest daughter and family.

So here's some before pictures to show you how really dented up and ugly it was. I'm sure my husband is wondering why I even spent $1.29 on it and then stored it in the garage. I'm sure he would consider it a waste of good garage space!


I'm planning on painting the wooden handle black or dark brown, just so when I age it down it will have something to counter the white.

The dishcloth on the left came from Cracker Barrel. I love their dish cloths, which are reasonably priced. These dish cloths are 2 or 3 years old, but have never been used for drying dishes as I love using them for decorating.

I'll show you soon what I did with the four matching bird dish cloths I have. Hope you have a Cracker Barrel close by to shop at their "country store". Their dumplings are great too if you get tired of shopping. I'm joining "White Wednesday" at Faded Charm's blog party and Perfectly Imperfic's party too.
